Toscafund, a London-headquartered specialist asset manager founded by Martin Hughes in 2000 and chaired by Martin Gilbert, has opened a Hong Kong office, its second in Asia-Pacific, following regulatory approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission.
Toscafund’s fifth and newest office extends the firm’s global network for both fund distribution and investment across its specialist areas – listed equities, private equity, private debt and UK commercial property.
Mark Tinker, former senior fund manager with AXA IM and founder of financial research firm Market Thinking, and Jonathan Sleath, former Investment Director at Investec in London and Hong Kong, will oversee Toscafund’s award-winning range of funds and proprietary investment opportunities to investors in the region.
Longer-term, the firm plans to develop the investment platform, identify quality opportunities and recruit the best local financial talent in the Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
